San Diego Chargers OT Michael Harris and OT Willie Smith will both play right and left tackle during the team's preseason game Friday, Aug. 15, as the coaching staff tries to decide which player will be the top backup for the offensive tackle spots. "It's been a battle all of camp," Smith said. "It's going to be a battle all throughout camp. We'll see how the chips fall at the end of it."

The Oakland Raiders could consider cutting LB Travis Goethel and OT Willie Smith for savings against the cap in 2013. Neither is going to break the bank, the Raiders are struggling to get under the cap and have tough decisions to make. Cutting Goethel would save $575,000, while cutting Smith would create $550,000 in space. Smith is a zone-blocking guy, and the team is expected to get away from that scheme.
